Hi all,

It may be of interest to people wanting to setup a turnkey dual booting 
system. Pls check out Monash University Computer Centre Linux project
http://www.monash.edu.au/ccstaff5/cos/pan/linux.htm.

Briefly, we had achieved a setup where students from student labs
(restricted at the moment) to select which PC operating system he wants
to boot from our Novell fileserver ie. Linux or MSWindows; automatically,
safely, and securely sharing with existing University resource.

A hurdle that we had to overcome was fixing the distribution eeexpress.c
driver, this can be found at ftp.monash.edu.au 
/pub/linux-cc/eeexpress.pan.

Because we are still developing the setup, tools and utilities are not
available yet, maybe to to small beta test sites. Pls contact me.

Bye,

Pan
